WHEAT-The local market remains dull and
inactive, 50 far as regular shipping trade is con-
eerned. Adviees from Liverpool indicate a
much better feeling in the situation, with the
negotiation of contracts for future delivery at
advanced prices. l. is to be hoped that local
exporters will soon see their way clear to do
business, and thus create some activity in grain
circles. Prices continue nominal at 81 2S@1 27%
for standard grades, with milling lots quotable
at 81 cool 40 2 ell, according to quality.
BARLEI-The outlook for sellers continues
dlSeouragng. The market is crowded with of
ferings, while custom is both slow and light.
Feed OF the best quality is not quotable over
S712c for general purposes, though some fancy
lots are held at soc and may find buyers at
that figure. Dark feed can be bought to a
liberal extent at S5c and perhaps a trife
lower. As regards Brewing, it does not seem
as if the market could be more dull.
There IS literally no demand, and dealers
have about exhausted time and patience

up life and relieve the market. Occasional sales

HoPS-In regard 10 the English crop, the
Kentish Observer under date of September 9th,
says: The country has recently been visited by
one of the most violent gales that has ragged in
these isles for many years, and the hop crop has
y.
partially wrecked Beside the injury done by
breaking huge branches Off the poles and the
battering and bruising of the cones a large pro-
portion of the hops have Teen discolored so
that thele cannot now he as many bright sam
pies as there would otherwise have been. In
Kent and Sussex the gale blew with tremendous
force, and where the situation was exposed, and
no shelter mad been erected, the damage sus-
tanned was Very serious. indeed, reducing the
yield, it is estimated, by as much as from Z cwt.
to cwt. per acre. These, however, are excep-
tonal instances of destruction. The Surrey and
Worcester grounds have not suffered to the ex-
tent that those in Kent have. Merchants and
brewers, however, may be assured that there
are still some hops left on the poles and there
Will be some splendid samples from the
best districts. We have inspected several sam
pies of the famous East Kent goldings. and have
no hesitation in saying, that for quality and
condition there has been nothing like them
grown for years. At least two of these samples
were from HoIs picked since the late gale The
TRAININGS, too, are in many instances remarka-
bly, line IN quality, though a little brown here
and there from the wind. Reports this week
speak of the ravages of mold and this is an
other source of trouble to growers. 1t appears
that those planters who train their Hons on
strings and wires have come off better than
those who adhere to the old three-pole system
pure and simple Growers are naturally asking
done had the weather kept favorable but up
to the present time merchants do not show q
disposition to concede to their demands Owing
to the shortage OF the home crop there is sure
expect to hear of the arrival of large quantities
of Americans and Germans as soon as exporters
